Description

I created this old-world favorite based on a dish I had during my travels. The flavorful entree is perfect for weeknights or special occasions. I like to serve this slow-cooker bratwurst with pasta.

Ingredients

  • 4 pounds uncooked bratwurst links
  • 3 bottles (12 ounces each) german-style beer or 4-1/2 cups reduced-sodium chicken broth
  • 1 jar (32 ounces) sauerkraut, rinsed and well drained
  • 4 medium granny smith apples (about 1-1/4 pounds), cut into wedges
  • 1 medium onion, halved and thinly sliced
  • 1-1/2 teaspoons caraway seeds
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper

Directions

  1. In a large nonstick skillet, brown bratwursts over medium-high heat in batches. Transfer to a 7-qt. slow cooker. Add remaining ingredients.
  2. Cook, covered, on low 6-8 hours or until a thermometer inserted in sausage reads at least 160°.
